Encountering genuine motsunabe (meat stew) in Osaka led to him opening his own restaurant
I'm originally from Ichinomiya City. After stepping away from the 9-to-5 life of a businessman, I entered cooking school. After that, I apprenticed at a Chinese restaurant and worked at a gyoza (dumpling) shop in Osaka for even more training. When a famous motsunabe (meat stew) restaurant from Fukuoka opened a branch in Osaka, I seized the opportunity to work there and trained for a year and a half, and in 2007 split off and opened a restaurant in Nagoya.
